A Comparison of Two Ab Interno Procedures in the Treatment of Glaucoma in Patients Undergoing Cataract Extraction

July 13, 2021 updated by: New World Medical, Inc.

A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-Center, Open-Label Trial Comparing a Novel Goniotomy Procedure and an Ab Interno Trabecular Bypass Device in the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Glaucoma in Patients Undergoing Cataract Extraction

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of goniotomy performed with a novel ophthalmic knife compared to trabecular bypass stent implantation in mild to moderate glaucoma subjects who are also undergoing cataract extraction with phacoemulsification (Phaco) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implant.
